v1.4.4

Summary of changes

• Important changes were made to the zstash code base to make it more robust:
  • --follow-symlinks will now only create a symlink in the destination directory, not also the source directory.
  • --non-blocking functionality (i.e., tars are created while a Globus transfer is ongoing) now occurs if and only if this option is used, as opposed to always occurring.
